NUTSHELL |

LATE-COMER SATELLITE's
bad habits are catching on. Now her chief acolyte Mangy Boy has also started to keep
people twiddling their thumbs while waiting for him.
Last week the man was chief guest at the rugby finals but hadn't shown his handsome
face at kick-off. Mangy was also missing when the final whistle blew and it was time to
give the trophy away. All in a dither, the |
| organisers fished
out another important person and had him do the honours. But after everything was over,
who should come along panting but Mangy. And the confused organisers proceeded to snatch
the award back from the winner and ask Mangy to award it all over again!THE LINK
AND it was a bad week all round for poor Mangy. Thinking he had a prize catch in you en
pee discard Puthra Cigar, the man summoned a conference of the asses, and announced
loftily that cigar was crossing over because of the green links with the tigers in the
hills. But cigar was to dampen the man's spirits and told all present there was no such
link and as one time leader of the greens, he would have known if there had ever been.
THE DEFAULTERS
NOW A Bee has also got into the act after his high
jump, or was it crawl, to the pee a. And the man was booming the other day that it was
disgusting that the greens had bought pee a types with money paid by bank defaulters.
But when the dentist with the big mouth heard that one, he was to guffaw, "It is
rich coming from a man who borrowed millions from yaso the kasturi and defaulted
payment." Even Ra-kneel couldn't but help smile at the sweet irony.
BEACH BOY
BUT these Bandas have a way with words and can even
charm a beggar out of his last rupee when they so wish. And after em ee pee's Bandula Gee
crossed to the green side, Satellite lost no time in inviting him for a pow wow.
"Let's go to the beach and settle our differences over a drink," she suggested
ever so sweetly.
But Bee Gee was the regular spoil sport and declined the offer which left Satellite,
quite, er, beachless.
TIME FOR JUSTICE
EVEN some of those doing supreme justice at supreme levels are feeling the heat with
all indications that the greens will romp home. And so in a supreme act of holding out the
olive branch, a message was sent to the green man that justice will be done in the coming
weeks.
POCKETING OUT
AND talking of justice, professori, the one-time just ministering angel has finally
muttered enough is enough and initiated defamation suits against Loo-shun and the eds at
the House by the Lake who have been casting aspersions on the unsullied record.
And this time, when justice is done, the guys will be paying out of their own pockets.
Yes, to the block coats as well. |
